I keep getting all these idealistic Democrats who excoriate me for saying much what Michael Moore says...take the gloves off NOW or lose. These idealists think Obama needs to be all sweetness and light and things will take care of themselves.---WRONG.---I tell them: "So you rosy-idealists think McCain's bitterness and betrayal will give us a positive future when you and Obama lose because you're so perfectionistic? You had better settle for a compromise or you're as much to blame for McCain getting in as the Republican vote will be. McCain truly IS someone who has difficulty controling himself when stressed or crossed. Look at his current remarks on Russia and Georgia...contemplate his finger on the nuclear button. Why do you idealists tell me about a positive future when you are shooting Obama in the foot and letting McSame win because of your anti-Hillary idealism? There is NOBODY with her name recognition that you can think of in the Democrat party that would appeal to the broad section of voters like she would. Not all voters are left leaning liberal Democrats. Remember that when you get nit picky over Hillary's perceived faults. A compromise is better than a failure...half a loaf is better than none and the way you guys are going we'll get none. If you really care, you won't balk at anything that might work to save Democrat hopes. Right now, we're sinking fast. Whle Obama is on vaction, the Songbird's slander machine never sleeps and the songbird who made 30 commercials for the North Vietnamese is putting his practice at political propaganda to work ...ie what he learned from the commies. Maybe one night you can sacrifice some American Idol to catch up on the real world. It may be true the US needs to rise above such trivia and focus on our children's future, I agree with you but it's not going to happen this time unless you get the Republicans OUT and they're fixing to make their stranglehold permanent. Your idealism won't work. If you get perfectionistic now and don't wait for a Democrat to first get back into office, you'll lose again. If you've read any history and know anything about World War II Germany's dictatorship, that is the blueprint of what the Republican party has become and is in our country right now. and if you want to feed that, then keep your idealism and lose this time and there will be no more Democrats. You'll he doing some explaining in concentration camps to Homeland Security who will have seized your person and monitor all your communication.s ....Either compromise just to put a Democrat into office...first...until you get the Republicans out or else just let the country finish being destoyed. If you deplore Hillary, when Obama loses you'll deplore McCain even more and your ideals will be gone. You'll have one party and one disaster in charge of your destiny.

Songbird McSame is not any war hero, and was never tortured.

The MSM of course won't print it, but he got his nick-name from the his conrads that were detained with him in Vietnam.  Songbird, like George Bush Jr never had to face the consequenses of their misjudgments throughout their lives because their daddies protected them from their shananagans.  If justice was served, songbird would have been prosecuted for the military secrets he gave to the North Vietnamese without ever being tortured.  He was given preferential treatment because he was used as a bargaining chip, while his daddy was high brass in the US Military.  Songbird is a spoiled brat and a hothead that is not fit to lead anyone.
